Parking Lot Safety Tips
Friday, December 17, 2010 at 9:36AM 
Time is running out. Christmas is just around the corner & the stores are filled with last-minute shoppers. Follow these parking lot safety tips:
- Let someone know where you are going & what time you’ll be home. Call if you will be late.
- Shop during daylight hours if possible.
- The sun sets early. If shopping late afternoon or evening, try to find a parking spot that is closer to the building & in a well lit area. If possible, avoid parking in dark secluded areas.
- Make sure that you can see your vehicle from a distance (with nothing obstructing your view).
- Arrange to go late-night shopping with a friend. Use the buddy-system to stay safe.
- Follow a group of people out to the parkade/parking lot. There is safety in numbers.
- Walk in the centre isles & not between parked cars (especially in parkades).
- Be alert to who is around you at all times. Walk with confidence. Keep your head high. Don’t look like a victim. Make eye contact with people as you pass by & keep a firm grip on your property.
- Have your key ready/in your hand as you approach your vehicle.
- If you suspect that someone is lurking by your vehicle, return to the store. Call the police or ask a security office to escort you to your vehicle.
- Be cautious of any suspicious person approaching as you near your car.
- Visually check under your car, from a distance as you approach it. Then check the front & back seats & the hatch back before entering.
- Do not ignore your instincts. Don’t take chances, it isn’t worth it. If you do not feel safe, do something about it! Stay safe this holiday season!
